Hardback. Condición: New. As the sequential stages of the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic have unfolded, so have its complexities. What initially presented as a health emergency, has revealed itself to be a phenomenon of many facets. It has demonstrated human creativity, the oft neglected presence of nature, and the resilience of communities. Equally, it has exposed deep social inequities, conceptual inadequacies, and structural deficiencies about the way we organize our civilization and our knowledge. As the situation continues to advance, the question is whether the crisis will be grasped as an opportunity to address the deep structural, ecological and social challenges that we brought with us into the second decade of the new millennium. This volume addresses the collective sense that the pandemic is more than a problem to manage our way out of. Rather, it is a moment to consider our broken relationship with the natural world, and our alienation from a deeper sense of purpose and meaning. The contributors, though differing in their diagnoses and recommendations, share the belief that this moment, with its transformative possibility, not be forfeit. Equally, they share the conviction that the chief ground of any such reorientation ineluctably involves our collective engagement with both ecology and theology. …

Paperback. Condición: New. Participation has been central to the story of Western philosophy and theology for at least two millennia. It has been employed to conceptualise the relationship between God and creation, between universals and particulars, and between the One and the many. This Element approaches the concept systematically to acquire an appreciation of its breadth and depth under four fundamental themes: creation and the divine ideas, incarnation and salvation, being and multiplicity, and the human activities of naming, knowing and making. In doing so it examines some of the key thinkers in the participatory tradition, including Augustine, Irenaeus, Aquinas and Nicholas of Cusa. Readers will be introduced to the key contours and manifestations of participatory metaphysics, and its role in Christianity's self-articulation. Together, these considerations will demonstrate how the metaphysics of participation has shaped the Christian tradition.…

Soft cover. Condición: Near Fine. No Jacket. Rare, indeed, is the father in American literature. Rare, too, the world of academia that escapes satire. And rarer, yet, the humble treatment of aristocrats. Here in this one splendid book we have treatment of all three done with great tact and intelligence. Alexander Blackburn was born into the aristocracy of wealth on his mother's side and into the aristocracy of intellect on his father's. His father, the celebrated professor of writing at Duke University, had brilliant professor-son relationships with such students as William Styron, Reynolds Price, Fred Chappell, Mac Hyman, and Guy Davenport. Yet it is his own, Alex, who tells with love the story of his father born the son of missionaries on a dirt, though richly carpeted, floor in Iran and who died 73 years later in Duke Hospital, blind and speechless, with Reynolds Price sitting up night after night playing Mozart for him. Between these two dramatic scenes, Alexander Blackburn sits often on the sidelines, yearning for recognition, and finally telling, herewith, his own story and his father's and most importantly the almost universal story, that tentative and painfully shy love that exists between father and son. William Blackburn's class in Literary Composition at Duke University (from the early 1930s to the late 1960s) was charmingly unstructured and wonderfully successful in the number of distinguished writers who emerged from it. In a finely textured book that manages to be a family history and an autobiography, Alexander Blackburn has written a warmly affectionate and insightful life of his father, whose complexities, emotional turmoil, and old-fashioned sense of honor need, as they have gotten, the hand of a novelist. There are several black and white photographs throughout the book. The book pages are clean and free of any markings or highlighting. There is a gift salutation of the previous owner on the inside of the front cover. Debra Long Hampton, Design; Elizabeth Blackburn, Cover Photograph (ilustrador). Signed by Author(s).…

Paperback. Condición: New. Early German Romanticism sought to respond to a comprehensive sense of spiritual crisis that characterised the late eighteenth century. The study demonstrates how the Romantics sought to bring together the new post-Kantian idealist philosophy with the inheritance of the realist Platonic-Christian tradition. With idealism they continued to champion the individual, while from Platonism they took the notion that all reality, including the self, participated in absolute being. This insight was expressed, not in the language of theology or philosophy, but through aesthetics, which recognised the potentiality of all creation, including artistic creation, to disclose the divine. In explicating the religious vision of Romanticism, this study offers a new historical appreciation of the movement, and furthermore demonstrates its importance for our understanding of religion today.…
